Another .357, again!

Number 17

I got home after a long grueling day and my cousin is wanting in my drive way. He said that he got a deal on two 2 1/4" SP101s and he wanted to know if I wanted one of them. So I paid him half of what he paid for the pair and $285 dollars later I have another SP101 and another snubbie 357 in my stable. This makes two snubbie 357s in four days.

Here are some pics taken way too late at night with my cell phone because I was too tired to dig out my camera.

Very good buy. I'm jealous. Do you prefer revolvers or good deals?

Both

I have a ton of pistols too, mostly 1911s. But I tend to gravitate toward revolvers and usually in 357 or 38, although I do have 44s, 45 colt, 45 acp, and other revolvers.

Don't worry Leftie! If you hang around long enough you will see some deals.
This is a sweet deal! SP101 is a great and packable piece. I like it with hotter 38's. I like it better than the LCR... I don't particularly like full power 357s in such a small gun, but these are better than most. (But it is still quite a hand full - - I found factory 115 gr. rounds are MUCH easier to manage than 125s and heavier factory ammo. Creeky hands, you know.

Sweet deal...and nice looking little snubbie. I bet 357's in that small package are a handful!

I might just have to have one of those...but I'm thinking the 2.25" 38special would be plenty for me.

WOW!! That was some kind of steal. A great little no nonsense revolver for a little price. The real crime would have been if you passed it up. Really really nice!!

A steal as in stolen is what I'm thinking that gun does not go for that price, I know I bought one resently retail is around $530 now days, a deal to good to be true always is, think I would have the police run a check on that gun before you get to attached to it.
